“Decided to give it a try today since it was on my route home. Ordered the farmer style pork and green pepper. It's not the usual fatty pork you'd get from other chinese food places, but it's delicious either way. Less fatty, but still full of flavor. Portion is what you paid for. Spicy level is true to what spicy is all about. Will come again to try their mapo tofu and kungfu boiled beef since from this simple dish alone it does look promising.“

“A little pricey for what you get. Dude at the cashier is not friendly what so ever. After I paid for my to go order, the receipt printed out and he was standing there waiting for me to add a tip. Personally, if you want a tip, be polite and friendly. And I believe tips should be given if the service is great or if someone eats in and they have to clean up after them. Not just because.. again, I would have tipped if he was polite even though I’m taking it to goParking: Not much to talk about“

“Very solid spicy beef noodle soup! It wasn't really spicy but the broth was super flavorful and the meat and vegetables only added to it. The knife cut noodles were abundant and very nice and chewy. It was a pretty good sized bowl. We also tried the beef roll and it was very, very good. I expected it to be greasier because of the pancake and sweeter because of the hoisin but it wasn't. It was perfectly balanced between meat, pancake and the scallions and cilantro. It even came with some chili oil to make each bite extra tasty. We really enjoyed our meal and are glad this place is within walking distance of our apartment. Everyone who worked here was very bright, cheerful and friendly, so the service was great.“

“I have always wondered about this spot because I love gifting from Dot Cupcakes's across the street. The food was delicious. We ordered a variety family style for about 10 of us. I will go back. However I was disappointed with how service was rushed. We're were trying to finalize out choices when the waitress came us up to us multiple times after we told her to wait for us to call you when we were READY. She unfortunately rushed us and we didn't order all the plates we wanted. I'm interested in going to the la location to see how that adventure would be. I just hope the next visit isn't quite as rushed and bothersome. If this is a busy location maybe put a sign up for a time limit to give new guests a heads up. New guests may take a few minutes to order and we were a decent size party. Any tips on what to do or say if you're rushed to order or eat at a restaurant? Blessings to those who enjoy.“

“It's a little pricey but our go-to for Chinese take out in Pasadena. We've never dined in but there's plenty of seating and located in a small shopping center so parking is available. I doubt it's any healthier than Panda but the food is made fresh and delicious. We also love supporting mom & pop restaurants - the folks who work there are also very friendly. Our staples are the hot & sour soup, orange chicken, combo fried rice & green beans. Yum!“

“Chinese Café serves amazing, delicious, healthy Chinese food! This food is so good! We had the food delivered. They were on time, the food was hot and fresh, and each item was boxed in plastic containers. Egg rolls and rice were in traditional take out paper containers. If an item has pan-fried noodles, then the noodles and the sauce is packaged separately so the dish itself will be fresh. Also, each box for a part of an item was labeled so we'd know what goes with which food item. Soup came in soup containers and also in plastic bags so the soup wouldn't spill accidentally. The food is traditional Cantonese Chinese food. We ordered BBQ Pork, Won Ton Soup, Green Pepper Beef, Chicken Egg Foo Young, Beef Pan Fried Noodles, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Vegetable Egg Rolls. The flavors of the meat and vegetables are fresh! The egg rolls are crispy and delicious! The food is low in sodium! Fortune cookies were free with great fortunes! I highly recommend Chinese Café. 5 Stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“The restaurant is full of Thai vibe. The owner (which I assumed) is very passionate and the food is definitely amazing. I ordered the crab and shrimp fried rice and the portions were way more than I would expect. However, I still finished them because they are so good. The amount of crab meat and the number of shrimps they put inside the dish would definitely not disappoint you. I also tried their Thai iced tea and it was also delicious. I would love to try out other dishes next time I visit Pasadena.“

“I love egg roll express! I grew up in this community and have been eating at this restaurant since I was a kid! Their food is so fresh, flavorful and delicious! It has gotten pricier over the years and most of their dishes come family style so I recommend coming for their lunch combo deals! I also recommend calling ahead because they don't have a very big wait area and it does take a while because food is made fresh! But I promise you it's definitely worth it! I recommend getting their chicken chow mein, the noodles are thick and so tasty! I also love their paper wrapped chicken! ?“

“I just had the BEST fast food meal I have ever eaten. Please don't tell anybody about this, I don't want these nice folks to be overwhelmed because of this review. Generally we get fried chicken and my wife did again last night. I went out on a limb and tried the Louisiana Gumbo, it was AMAZING, so tasty, huge shrimp, lots of sausage and chicken. I ate almost the whole quart serving by myself. It comes with rice and was just outstanding. I urge you to give it a try.“
